Pata Paplean

If you’re craving bold Thai-style noodles, this place delivers. The tom yum is fragrant and beautifully spicy-sour with roasted chili and lime. 😋 The boat noodles are rich and flavorful, though a bit salty today, and the noodles were slightly overcooked and soft. Casual, friendly vibe with quick service. Overall I enjoyed it and I’ll definitely be back.

Such a cute little Thai noodles shop. We had the Tom yum noodle soup and the nam tok beef soup. Both were really good and the soup/ingredients were authentic. Not too many seats making it kinda cozy (only one outdoor table), and deco was nice and it does make you feel a little bit like you are on the street side in Thailand. Would be back again to try some other dishes!

Authentic Thai flavors! The boat noodles were rich and flavorful, and the grilled pork skewers were perfectly seasoned and juicy. Friendly service and casual vibe, feels just like eating in Thailand.

Authentic no-frills Thai noodle shop in Queens. The small bowls are only $7, so you can try small portions of different noodles/soups. Cheap and fun!

My favorite Thai noodle shop in the Elmhurst area makes me feel like I’m back in Thailand—everything tastes amazing. I usually order the Nam Tok noodles, but today they launched a new hot-pot menu. You can choose from a variety of broths—Tom Saap, Tom Yum, Nam Tok, or clear soup—all of which are incredibly delicious and perfect for chilly weather. I highly recommend giving it a try! Next time I’ll sample one of the other broths. Today I went with the Nam Tok—it was so good! You really must try it!
